| 背面描述 | Disjointed, stylised Celtic horse depicted in a compact, dumpy form advancing to the right, rendered in the degenerate artistic tradition typical of late British Iron Age coinage and its contemporary imitations. The tail is tripartite, each strand terminating in a pellet. The horse's ear is formed by two curves creating an oval outline. A six-spoked wheel appears below the horse, serving as the principal identifying type element of the Cheriton Wheel series. A schematic charioteer's arm is visible above the horse's back. Bold pellets are scattered throughout the field, filling the remaining space in accordance with Celtic decorative convention. |

Contemporary counterfeits of British Iron Age staters are well-documented but rarely discussed with precision. This piece belongs to the "Cheriton Wheel" type, a regional variant circulating in what is now Hampshire and the surrounding chalklands. Gold-plated bronze forgeries were produced during the same period as genuine issues — not later imitations, but contemporary frauds intended to pass in circulation. The plating technique involved wrapping or dipping a bronze flan, and most surviving examples have lost significant surface coverage.
The existence of such forgeries implies enough monetary volume and transactional regularity among Late Iron Age Britons to make counterfeiting worth the risk.
